Info

• Design reuse and automation – speed new designs by finding and reusing existing designs. Use SolidWorks design automation tools to speed the design process further • SolidWorks Search – enable users to search for any file—on their computer, network, SolidWorks PDM system, or Internet • Design automation – automate repetitive design tasks, including part, assembly, and drawing generation, using DriveWorksXpress • Configurations – automatically create multiple versions of parts and assemblies and save them in the same file for easy reference • Design Library – save frequently used parts, features, templates, and more in the Design Library for easy access • 3D models from suppliers – reduce design time by using 3D models and 2D data of catalog components from 3DContentCentral.com and other manufacturers • Smart Components and Smart Fasteners – reduce assembly creation time, using smart hardware that create their own holes or size to existing holes • Component Library – SolidWorks Toolbox provides millions of hardware components and other items to add to your assembly • Animations and photorealistic renderings – communicate your design intent with great visuals that explain your idea correctly the first time • Photoview 360 – create photorealistic images and animations quickly, without being a graphics expert • Walk-through/fly-through animations – take a virtual walk through your design to explain it to others and record a video • Assembly animation – demonstrate basic operation of your design by applying motion, gravity, and component contact or by manually moving components— and save a video of the demonstration • 2D drawings – expedite the creation of production-ready 2D drawings to clearly communicate how your design should be manufactured and assembled • Automatic Drawing View creation – simply drag and drop the 3D model into a drawing to create views with hidden lines, hidden lines removed, wire frame, or even shaded views. Include all types of views such as isometrics, sections, partial sections, and detailed views • Automated Drawing View updates – changes to the 3D part and assembly models are automatically reflected in the drawing views that are in synch with the 3D model Speed machine design and simulation with built-in specialized functionality for creating welded structures, production-quality drawings, and other tasks.

Output BOM from an assembly or drawing for printing or upload to ERP/MRP systems • Annotations – create a complete drawing by adding all necessary tolerances, symbols, notes, hole call-outs, and tables • Standards checking – compare your drawings to company standards to ensure consistency with SolidWorks Design Checker • Drawing control – control drawing revisions and compare drawings graphically to understand their differences
Ensure your idea will perform as designed Virtually test your design in a simulated real-world environment to reduce physical prototypes, save money, and complete your product faster. • Motion simulation – use SolidWorks Motion to help improve the kinematics of your design, leading to improved reliability • Structural validation – enhance product quality by identifying areas prone to failure and suggest changes to guide design optimization using tools built for designers and engineers who best know the design • Sustainability – use SolidWorks SustainabilityXpress to assess the environmental impact of your design and optimize material selection, part geometry, and sourcing • Fluid flow simulation – use FloXpress to provide initial fluid flow simulation and reporting Ensure your design can be manufactured correctly the first time Use SolidWorks Premium tools to verify your design can be efficiently produced before it reaches manufacturing, significantly reducing waste. • Collision and interference detection – check for proper relationships between the components in your design to ensure proper operation • Hole alignment checks in assembly design – eliminate misalignments between components prior to manufacturing • Tolerance stack-up analysis – use TolAnalyst to check the effect of tolerances on parts and assemblies • Design for manufacturing – use DFMXpress to assess the manufacturability prior to production release • Output 2D manufacturing data – send 2-axis DXF and DWG file information directly to production • Sheet metal flat pattern – automatically flatten sheet metal parts, including bend compensation Built-in tools speed the design and documentation of extremely large assemblies. Image courtesy of Bucyrus International Inc. • Draft and undercut analysis – streamline plastic/cast/forged part and tooling design to eliminate problems before manufacturing • 3D for rapid prototyping – SolidWorks directly outputs STL and other file formats to rapid prototype equipment • 3D CAM output – integration with the world’s leading CAM packages. SolidWorks Certified Gold Solution Partner CAM products are fully integrated inside SolidWorks for maximum design efficiency • Automatic output of hole charts, weld tables, cut lists, and CNC pipe bending data – streamlines production preparation • Harness-board drawings – generate drawings and wire cut lists for electrical manufacturing Collaborate and communicate your ideas efficiently Share CAD data and collaborate with others on product design quickly and easily. • Import/export – convert CAD data into any format your audience needs • Existing 2D DWG data – maintain these designs using SolidWorks 2D CAD tools
